## Therapeutic Approach
1. **Person-Centred Experiential (PCE)**: Non-directive, relational therapy where the client is the expert.
2. **Somatic Awareness**: Working "bottom-up" with the nervous system (Polyvagal-informed) to address anxiety and trauma.
3. **Anti-Pathologising**: Viewing neurodivergence and emotional responses as natural variations, not disorders to be "fixed".
